New Credit Card Policies.. (mastercard especially)

If this is true and goes into effect, I will be righteously pissed. I don't like using a credit card for purchases, so I use my debit Mastercard that is tied to my checking account, that way I only buy stuff when I have the cash to back it up. If they try and tell me I can't buy cigars from wherever the hell I want, there will be more than a couple angry phone calls. Since when did it become Mastercard's job to tell me where I can spend my money and what I can spend it on? Ridiculous.

Actually, from what I understand, these rules have been in place since 2002. You will not be affected by this.

The whole cigar bar exemption has already happened here in MA. Then Boston just recently passed a new law not allowing any new cigar bars to open (this is Boston only), the existing cigar bars have 10 years to close their doors (when said 10 years is up, the bars can appeal, asking for further extension), drug stores such as walgreens, cvs, etc. cannot sell tobacco (apparently because people go there to get healthy), and anyone named Jim cannot be seen crossing the street on the second Tuesday of any given month, less he be shot 5 times immediately. It's stupid what a puritan state it's become here.

I tried to order a few months back from one company, I think it may have been JR, but anyway, my card was declined because of internet sale of tobacco. I was pissed and went to another site and ordered with no problem. Have ordered from Thompson, Cuban Crafters, Cigars International etc. with no problems so far. There is an organization that you can donate to and join called the CRA which stands up for the rights of cigar smokers. I am sure they are already fighting this but there is strength in numbers.
